About MCL
A neighborhood smoke, since May 2022.
Mansfield Cigar Lovers started as a handful of friends who wanted a regular excuse to share a cigar, swap recommendations, and get to know more of the town. It's grown into a community — and while cigar clubs sometimes carry an "old boys" reputation, MCL is built different. Men, women, lifelong aficionados, curious first-timers — everyone is welcome at the table.

George Fassett
Founder & Leader
Started MCL in May 2022. Runs the meets, MCs the annual charity poker tournament, and probably has more cigars than he'll admit to.

Resident Expert
Owned his own cigar shop for 7+ years. When there's a genuine question about a wrapper, a blend, or a humidor — Jeff's the final word.
What we stand for
Local first. Mansfield, Texas. The shops, restaurants, and neighbors who make this town a town.
Fellowship over flexing. Bring the cigar you actually like, ask the dumb question, meet the new face.
Give it all back. Two charity events a year. 100% of charity dollars go to the cause — we never touch the money.
Everyone's invited. Cigar culture has a reputation. We don't fit it. Guys, ladies, beginners, pros — pull up a chair.
